Holy cow - provider losses if the tax reconciliation bill passes would approach $1 trillion. Yes, that's trillion with a "t"! www.urban.org/research/pub...

The Trump Administration’s proposed sweeping rule changes will raise premiums, increase costs, and make enrollment harder. Its own estimates show 2M people losing coverage. @sabrinacorlette.bsky.social says it’s like making people “crawl through broken glass.” www.healthcaredive.com/news/trump-a...

The Trump administration's war on the ACA continues, with a new proposed rule that - in their OWN words - would "increase administrative burden" and "deter some eligible low-income" from enrolling. The proposal = more paperwork + higher premiums. www.cms.gov/newsroom/fac...

So...if you thought this year's 'flu season was bad, buckle up. The FDA committee meeting to ID the strains for next fall's flu vaccine has been cancelled. This means vaccines won't be ready for their annual Sept roll out. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...
